Azerbaijani expert: Tehran can attack BTC pipeline in desperation
In case of US attack on Iran, says Egypt Al-Ahram newspaper, Iranian missiles could strike the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. The statement was made by Azerbaijani military expert Uzeir Jafarov, reports Day.az. He added that in case of US military operation against Iran Azerbaijan will not be able to remain aloof.
“Even if Azerbaijani gives no consent to using its territory by US troops, it should be not ruled out that Tehran, being in a desperate situation, would strike objects of US economic interests in Azerbaijan: works in the Caspian Sea, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline,” believes the military expert.
It should be mentioned, last week the UN Security Council gave a month to Iran for curtailing its nuclear program. Tehran responded immediately that it would not stop uranium enrichment.
